I remember your tales from there, and they made me keen. I've been thinking about a trip there for a while now, but it might have to wait until next year. Zealandia, on the other hand, is much easier and cheaper for me to get to. Matiu/Somes Island in Wellington Harbour is supposed to be very good for kakariki, too, and that's just as accessible as Zealandia with the bonus of a short ferry trip.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-88772643255200301222016-05-13T09:29:40.920+12:002016-05-13T09:29:40.920+12:00When I lived in Wellington I often saw kakariki fl...When I lived in Wellington I often saw kakariki flying around Brooklyn - even, on two occasions - saw them in our garden. I expect they were attached to Zealandia.<br /><br />I can recommend a trip to Tiri Tiri Matangi. If you can, stay a night or two there. So much bird life to be seen there that you won't see elsewhere.Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444945404516362880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-18106347360425205942016-05-09T22:04:09.539+12:002016-05-09T22:04:09.539+12:00Zhoen — maybe I ruffled its feathers.Zhoen — maybe I ruffled its feathers.pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-46806095439401009542016-05-09T07:28:14.064+12:002016-05-09T07:28:14.064+12:00"Harrummph."
